This two day Fire Alarms BS 5839 course is based upon BS 5839:1, BS 5839:6 Fire alarm systems are essential for the safety of life and/or property. In general, it is appropriate to install some form of fire alarm system in virtually all buildings, except very small relatively open planned buildings. The initiation of alarm can be either manual or automatic, or a combination of both, as is usually the case. The level of cover required by a building is based upon a fire risk assessment and a suitable system selected to meet this need. The Fire Alarms BS 5839 course provides the necessary information to design, construct and commission a non-addressable fire alarm system to BS 5839. The first day of the Fire Alarms BS 5839 course is spent reading through and interpreting the relevant parts of BS 5839. The second day of the Fire Alarms BS 5839 course takes the form of a practical workshop where a system is designed, constructed and inspected and tested. The participant is then introduced to the practical issues of system maintenance, certification and reporting.
Who should learn? This course has been designed for those who are new to EV Charging Installations or for those requiring a better understanding of electric vehicle charging equipment installations. Learners using this course could be from any background or industry sector, from apprentices through to senior managers. Course Introduction This online course will cover the key aspects of the design, specification and installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation. This course will look at the requirements detailed in Section 722 of BS 7671:2018+A1:2020 as well as the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, 4th Edition. The course will also help to enhance your expertise on the best practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, providing you with a deeper understanding of how to select and use the correct earthing systems to protect against electric shock as well looking into vehicle-to-grid, on street installations and smart infrastructure integration. We would recommend that you purchase a copy of The Code of Practice For Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, Fourth Edition to get the best out of this course. Learning Objectives Through this online course, you will learn: How to specify Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installations How to design electrical installations containing electric vehicle charging and supply equipment The steps involved in planning, installing and commissioning of electric vehicle charging points Key risks and hazards for various types of installation, and how to address them, including: Dwellings, Commercial and Industrial premises, On-Street installations, and filling stations.
Learners will develop knowledge of FD&FA systems and apply this to the provision of detection and electrical actuation for gas extinguishing systems.
This course provides learners with a good understanding of the technical requirements for surge protection for mains power, instrumentation, control, voice and data circuit installations. The course outlines the lightning protection and earthing principles on surge protection and discusses the surge protection requirements based on BS EN 62305 and BS 7671. Modules also consider the need for risk assessment for lightning and surge protection, sources of disturbance and damages caused by different risks and the importance of good earthing and main equipotential bonding. The course explores several examples of good and poor surge protection and the correct selection, installation, commissioning and monitoring of SPDs under different system earthing types.
Who is this Level 3 NVQ aimed at? The experienced worker qualification is for practising electricians with at least 5 years experience but have never formally completed an industry apprenticeship or equivalent Level 3 NVQ Qualification. This is suitable for self-employed and employed electricians. This is the Level 3 pathway for practising electricians to obtain your ECS Gold Card and JIB Grading. To complete the full qualification you will also need to: Have a current Wiring Regulations Qualification BS7671 Have an initial verification qualification such as a C&G 2391-50 Have a Level 2 Electrotechnical Qualification What’s involved in the qualification? After an initial Skills Scan, we will discuss the gaps that need to be filled and you will be assessed using a range of methods to complete the evidence gathering process. There will also be Professional Discussions to discuss areas of expertise and you can choose either an installation or maintenance route based on the work you carry out. There are seven Performance Units to be assessed for the qualification, these are: Apply Practices and Procedures for Maintenance Apply Health, Safety and Environmental Considerations Organise and Oversee the Electrical Work Environment Apply Design and Installation Practices and Procedures Terminate and Connect Conductors Inspect, Test and Commission Electrical Systems Apply Fault Diagnosis and Rectification On completion of the Experienced Worker assessment you will be able to use the qualification to apply for a JIB Gold Card. This qualification is for experienced electricians who can demonstrate over 5 years experience. It is not suitable for new entrants or those currently on an apprenticeship.
